I have been doing Insanity and thought that it would help speed up my time but nope apparently not yet. The last 3 of my 5K races I finish at 33 minutes (34:09, 33:19, 33:05) I improved every time but just a tad bit. I want to get it under 33 minutes... HOW??? I have completed c25k program and am on 7th week of Insanity. I am doing 5K races once or twice a month. My current goal is to get in a nice shape and to run faster at least 25 minutes at 5K and near future to run 10K. So what program should I try? or anything else I should try?? HELP!! Thanks!

First of all, congratulations on your steady improvement, even if it has been a little slow recently, you are still consistenly getting better.

Finally, you also need to be patient, improving one's PB is not an easy task. If you continue not to see much improvement maybe it will be time to change your training plan, but be aware that training results take a while to appear (often a couple of months).

Current PB:

5k: 19:53 (December 31st 2014)

10k : 42:30 (March 9th 2014)

Half Marathon: 1:32:40 (February 1st 2015)

After completing my 10th HM it's marathon time! The goal is set for March 15th (after a difficult second half of the training plan goal is set to 3h 30min).
